Great location and beach

Comfortable room with refrigerator and microwave. Clean room and bathroom. Amazing view of the beach, nice pool area (too cold to swim in January but looks really nice). Balcony overlooking pool area and beach. If you have mobility issues you need to be on first floor. Great location to go to Brookgreen Gardens, HB State Park or Myrtle Beach

Our recent stay at the Garden City Inn (motel) was delightful, and I am thrilled to share our positive experience. Safety is clearly a top priority at the Garden City Inn. The well-lit parking area, secure entry points, and attentive staff created an environment where we felt completely at ease throughout our stay. Convenience is another standout feature of this inn. Its strategic location places guests within easy reach of local attractions, dining options, and essential services. Whether you're a business traveler or on a leisurely getaway, the proximity to nearby points of interest eliminates unnecessary travel hassles. Parking was an absolute breeze. The spacious, well-organized lot ensured that I never had to worry about finding a spot, even during peak hours. It was a small but impactful convenience that set the tone for a stress-free stay. One of the highlights of my visit was the nearby market. adjacent to the inn, it offered a variety of snacks and drinks. In every aspect, the Garden City Inn (motel) excels in providing a safe, convenient, and welcoming stay. We wholeheartedly recommend it to anyone seeking a comfortable and enjoyable home away from home.

Clean, convenient spot for off-season travel. Very nice that all rooms face the ocean but missing an elevator for the upper floors. Didn't spend much time at the hotel but my sleep was good and the water in the shower was hot and had good pressure.

We have had such a nice stay! This is our first time staying here and we have loved it! Everything was really clean! And you can’t beat the view :) right on the ocean! Checking in was easy and the front desk was really nice! We were here only one night but can’t wait to come back in the summer! See you soon! :)
